Un signaculum di terracotta dal territorio di Vetulonia

The publication of a terra-cotta seal of the Roman period from the territory of Vetulonia in northern Etruria. The seal is similar in its form, its size, and the content of the text to other examples in metal found at Rome and Ostia; according to a recent interpretation these were used to stamp terra-cotta products with the name of individuals who were responsible for the distribution in Rome of oil from Baetica.
However, the interpretation of the function of the signaculum presented here must remain an open question.
